Best Alternative Artifacts for Chili Pepper Cookie

For artifacts there is an interesting mechanic in play in CookieRun Tower of Adventure – you can freely use artifacts since they are not limited to certain classes or cookies. Of course, they are designed towards a certain cookie or class, but sometimes other artifacts also work really well – here are our test results with the other artifacts:

Opportunity Strikes

Artistic Flourish

Strange Brewing Table

Rain of Forks

Morale Recharge

Sweetness Explosion

Warriors Oath

Best Equipment Items Each Slot) for Chili Pepper Cookie

Also for equipment there are many options you can use before upgrading a gear item. The secret here is not to use the gear that appears strongest, since upgrading the gear will be your bottleneck. Our strategy here gives you the best order of gear items you should use and how much to upgrade them to really make sense.

Best Weapon

Let’s start with the weapon slot.

Toothless Bread Knife - Level 1 is great, espcially when you pulled her artifact that gives higher crit damage constantly so even the small crit rate here does something with the amount of shots you will fire. I wouldn't upgrade it, though

Discolored Dagger - Level 1 has a lot more crit rate that you will love here, espcially when you pulled her artifact. Also here I would not upgrade it and save the resources and keep it at Level 1 for now

Outlaws Poker - Level 1 now we're really talking crit rate and by now you hopefull have either her artifact or use one other than gives crit boost. This blue gear is worth upgrading now looking at Chili Pepper Cookies kit and role at this stage of the game

Outlaws Poker - Level 30 upgrading this weapon is worth it since the crit rate and the fire rate with the higher crit damage you have on Chili Pepper Cookie make her your main damage dealer for the msot parts at this point. No need to max it though and I think level 30 is enough to keep your stats viable until youg et the epic weapon to use on her

Boomerang Candy - Level 1 unless you maxed out the Outlaw Poker, this is already at Level 1 an improvement in crit rate and for the most parts will do its job well

Boomerang Candy - Level 40 while waiting for her unique weapon, the crit rate will carry here and upgrading this weapon is so worth it. At this point you have her artifact so you constantly hit really hard with crits + make a lot of hits that make her a great damage dealing cookie

Best Headwear

Now let’s have a look at the hat slot:

Plain Straw Hat - Level 1 gives along the other gear with crit here a nice boost, espcially if you pulled her artifact so you have the increased crit damage constantly active

Plain Straw Hat - Level 30 is actually one of the few uncommon gear pieces in the game I recommend leveling or in this case even maxing out. The reason is that the green and the blue options are lackluster that only provide crit damage. And here comes the surprise, if you go that way, your crits will hit ahrder but at this point your crit rate is so low that the damage is super squishy and no reliable so you rather want to keep that gear item here longer and be more reliable, save up resources to upgrade other gear in the meantime and then switch to the epic gear that makes sense

Radiant Golden Rose Crown - Level 1 here we go with the big improvement and use it right when you have access to it. This will give a ton more crit rate along with the other gear recommended in this guide and make her crit hard, often and constantly a lot and ramp up the damage to new heights

Radiant Golden Rose Crown - Level 60 maxing this one out is worth it for multiple reasons - you will have high damage and crits until you make the transition to high base damage and the only reason to use the super epic piece is the set bonus. So, if you don't have the Fire Demon leg and body piece so you can make the set bonus happen, you want to run the RAdiant Rose Crown. And this can take a long time, this is why this upgrade here is actually worth it

Best Bodywear

Now let’s have a look at the chest slot:

Warm Brown Sweater - Level 1 in terms of stats this makes most sense but you would only use this really early and swap out soon so don't beat yourself up if you don't use it

Hardened Chocoleather Armor - Level 1 is the green gear item that makes most sense here with her. I also wouldn't really bother upgrading it to be honest since the stats you gain are quite small and you will not use it for too long

Best Legwear

Now let’s have a look at the legs slot:

Easy Jeans - Level 1 are alright and the only common legwear gear that have ATK on them so use them. I wouldn't upgrade them, though

Hardwood Shin Guards - Level 1 are a nice improvement in ATK compared to the common ones and the ones you will wear quite a bit

Hardwood Shin Guards - Level 30 I recommend to max them out since there is no blue gear that makes sense, even the Edgy Leather Pants don't make sense since the Crit Damage on them will trigger rarely since you don't have much crit rate with the other gear items that solid base attack works better here. Do yourself a favor and save yourself some resources that are better spent on other gear in the meantime

Aurum Dragon Armor - Level 1 is a nice improvement from the even maxed green legwear and scale best throughout her skills and kit overall
